Transport Reviews is an international review journal covering all aspects of transport. It is intended to provide authoritative and up to date research-based reviews of transport related topics that are informative to those that are knowledgeable in the subject area. It also provides a means by which experts from different backgrounds can find out about the subject area, so the papers should be accessible to a wide ranging readership. Transport Reviews encourages submissions from all disciplinary perspectives (e.g. economics or engineering), all relevant subject areas (e.g. safety or environment), and all analytical approaches (e.g. modelling or database analysis). The reviews normally present new methodological approaches, new analysis, innovative perspectives and original data, but are not exclusively research based. Transport Reviews obtains papers from many different sources, conventional academic authors, as well as from those working in consultancies, local authorities, government departments and the international agencies. The geographic spread of authors is extensive. For example, there were 42 papers published in Transport Reviews in 2008, with 76 authors from 22 different countries. Peer Review Statement All research articles in this journal have undergone rigorous peer review, based on initial editor screening and anonymised reviews by at least three referees.

Fifty Key Anthropologists - Articles Related to the Life and Work of Some Influential Figures Visual Anthropology is a scholarly journal presenting original articles, commentary, discussions, film reviews, and book reviews on anthropological and ethnographic topics. The journal focuses on the study of human behavior through visual means. Experts in the field also examine visual symbolic forms from a cultural-historical framework and provide a cross-cultural study of art and artifacts. Visual Anthropology also promotes the study, use, and production of anthropological and ethnographic films, videos, and photographs for research and teaching. Additional topics cover: the relationship of cultural and visual perception; visual theories, technologies, and methodologies for recording and analyzing behavior and the relationships among different modes of communication; the study of human behavior through visual means; the analysis of the structuring of reality as evidenced by visual productions and artifacts; the study of the forms of social organization surrounding the planning, production, and use of visual symbolic forms; the support of urgent ethnographic filming; the use of media in cultural feedback. Peer Review Policy: This is a peer-reviewed journal. All research articles in this journal have undergone rigorous peer review, based on initial editor screening and subsequent review by one or two anonymous referees. The only exception is when certain submitted articles fall within the special anthropological competence of one of the editors, in which case that person serves as the reviewer. In addition, we may note that book and film reviews are solicited by the review editors from competent writers, and the reviews are scrutinized by those editors before publication.Publication office: Taylor & Francis, Inc., 325 Chestnut Street, Suite 800, Philadelphia, PA 19106.

Visual Cognition publishes new empirical research that increases theoretical understanding of human visual cognition. Studies may be concerned with any aspect of visual cognition such as object, face, and scene recognition; visual attention and search; short-term and long-term visual memory; visual word recognition and reading; eye movement control and active vision; and visual imagery. The journal is devoted to research at the interface of visual perception and cognition and does not typically publish papers in areas of perception or psychophysics that are covered by the many publication outlets for those topics. The typical study will use behavioral methods, but reports clearly motivated by theoretical issues in visual cognition that use alternative populations or methods such as neuroimaging (e.g., fMRI, ERP, MEG) or modeling (computational or mathematical) are also encouraged.Articles take two forms. Full Articles typically involve multiple experiments and a relatively in-depth discussion of the theoretical implications of the work. There are no length restrictions though authors should strive for brevity. Brief Articles report new and unexpected empirical findings of broad interest and will be favored for novelty of approach or method. Manuscripts submitted as Brief Articles will receive a simple accept or reject disposition in the shortest possible time, and when accepted will receive priority for publication. Brief Articles have a maximum of 3000 words including abstract, notes, captions, and appendices, but excluding bibliography. The bibliography for a Brief Article should not exceed 30 references, and figures and tables should be used sparingly. A word count should be included on the title page.Peer Review IntegrityAll published research articles in this journal have undergone rigorous peer review, based on initial editor screening and refereeing by independent expert referees.Special IssuesIssues devoted to a single topic are regularly published in this journal.

Visual Communication Quarterly (VCQ) is an international, peer-reviewed journal of theory, research, practical criticism, and creative work in all areas of visual communication. Our goal is to promote an inclusive, broad discussion of all things visual, while also encouraging synthesis and theory building across our fascinating field of study. We define "visual" in the broadest sense of the word -- from dreams and cognitive theory through gesture and geography, as well as issues concerning visual ethics, visual ecology, representation, visual media in all forms, and visual behavior. Methods range from tightly controlled quantitative studies through critical analysis, essays, qualitative scholarship, and creative art. We also print numerous single images and portfolios as well as multimedia work on our Web site, a rarity among academic journals. VCQ, the official publication of the Visual Communication Division of the Association for Education in Journalism and Mass Communication, has published regularly since 1994. For 11 years, VCQ was distributed to more than 10,000 professionals and scholars through News Photographer magazine of the National Press Photographers Association. Our mission has broadened beyond visual journalism, design, and media to address the need for a publication encompassing the complex and wide-ranging field of visual communication and visual studies across media, art, and science. Our new format and distribution system not only allow us to publish more articles and creative work, while maintaining rigorous peer review, but also facilitate international access of articles and images through on-line databases. For additional information about VCQ, as well as resources in visual communication, visit the journal's editorial Web site: www.vcquarterly.org.

Special Issue - A Tribute to Helene E. Roberts 'Second Hand Images': On Art's Surrogate Means and Media - Part I: The Art Press and Photography Visual Resources: An International Journal of Documentation is devoted to the study of images and their uses. While images of architecture and works of art constitute its main focus, it also includes other subjects and contexts in a wide range of formats. Its scope delves into the past and looks toward the future, revealing how images have influenced the perception of art and how the interpretation of images conditions and enhances academic disciplines such as archaeology, history, and particularly art and architectural history. Visual Resources explores how visual language is structured and visual meaning communicated and also illustrates how picture collections are acquired, organized, indexed, and preserved. VR examines early attempts to document the visual, reports on the state of visual resources, assesses the effect of electronic technology on current and future uses, and provides a platform for reporting innovative ways to organize and access visual information - while aiming to increase the recognition and appreciation of visual documentation. Over the years, VR has published articles about verbal descriptions of art and architecture; copies, casts, and facsimiles; drawings, paintings, and prints; photography; library, archive, and museum collections; iconography; and computers and electronic imagery - and how these have functioned as documents of art and culture.

Since the first issue was published in 1984, Wasafiri has always opened minds and crossed literary worlds. The magazine remains key in mapping new literary landscapes and offering the best of contemporary international writing today, consistently featuring Britain's diverse cultural heritage whilst also highlighting the vast range of worldwide diasporic and migrant literature. 'Wasafiri', the Kiswahili word for travellers, captures our ethos: to travel the world via the word to extend and challenge the established boundaries of literary culture. Wasafiri gives particular prominence to those whose literary and historical concerns do not necessarily fit within the confining rubrics of any one particular movement, tradition, or culture. One of the UK's first publications to have provided a sustained outlet for new writing, it has contributed to the emergence of many now established voices and offers a dynamic context for dialogue and critical debate. The quarterly magazine draws widely across modern culture and the arts, publishing a lively and informed mix of fiction, poetry, interviews, essays and reviews by both well-known and rising names. As such, Wasafiri provides a unique forum for those keen to explore the geographies and contours of new and emerging literary worlds. Last year Wasafiri celebrated its 25th anniversary with a series of cutting edge live events including renowned literary names and some of the best up and coming voices, whilst the magazine's New Writing Prize discovered some exciting new creative writers. As we move into our next quarter century, Wasafiri looks forward to renewing its commitment to 'celebrating the best of tomorrow's writers today'.
